🍌 Take a ride and slide into 3 Bananas in Crescent City for lunch!

I recently tried the Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap, loaded with crisp chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and grilled chicken breast, all wrapped in a fresh spinach tortilla. Instead of fries, I opted for the restaurant’s famous Homemade Corn Fritters, served piping hot with powdered sugar and a side of cinnamon butter. They were absolutely delicious!

The meal was hearty and incredibly filling, but somehow there was still room for dessert. No visit is complete without trying the Fried Banana Cheesecake—a sweet treat that’s become a customer favorite.

And if you’re planning a visit, don’t forget that they’re also well known for their Buffalo wings!

Friday night dinner done right at SoNapa Grille Ormond Beach 🍸✨

Started with the Three Cheese Asiago Bread and Butter Flight — warm, crispy, cheesy bread served with creamy butter, garlic butter, and blue cheese butter for the perfect shareable appetizer.

For the entrée, the Carneros Carbonara was packed with flavor: fettuccini tossed with Carneros Chardonnay, parmesan cheese, prosciutto, peas, and served with garlic toast. You can also add chicken or your favorite protein to make it even heartier! 🍝

Dessert was a rich and creamy Crème Brûlée with the perfect caramelized top. And the Key Lime Martini was the ultimate finishing touch — made with Madagascar Vanilla Vodka, Licor 43, cream, and lime juice, all accented with a graham cracker rim. 🍸

10/10 food, drinks, and service. Great place for date night! Live with flavor!

🍋Sweet, creamy, and just the right touch of citrus! Rosie's Italian Bakery & Cafe's homemade limited-time Limoncello Cannoli delivers a subtle hint of lemon that’s refreshing without being overpowering. Crispy cannoli shell, smooth filling, white chocolate curls on one end, and a party on the other (sprinkles) make this dessert as fun as it is delicious. 💛✨

If you’re a lemon lover who prefers balance over boldness, this one is definitely worth the treat. 🍋

Tried the limited-time Jill Pickle chicken salad from Chicken Salad Chick Chicken Salad Chick for lunch today! 🥒💚 I ordered The Chick on a buttery croissant with a side of Loaded Potato Soup.

If you’re a pickle lover, Jill Pickle is definitely DILLicious! While I still think the chain’s DILLicious Diva flavor is a little more vibrant and packed with dill flavor, Jill Pickle still delivers a tasty, pickle-forward bite without being overpowering.

Add a few pickle spears on the side, and lunch is complete! 🥒✨

This Memorial Day, as we remember and honor the fallen heroes who gave their lives for our freedom, make a stop at The Swamp Restaurant in Gainesville for their award-winning Freshman 15 Burger 🍔🇺🇸

This massive burger features an 8-ounce all-beef patty topped with American and Pepper Jack cheeses, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, fresh jalapeños, and a fried egg, all served on a toasted, buttered brioche bun. It’s no surprise this fan favorite was crowned the 2019 Champion of the Capital One Orange Bowl Burger Battle!

Pair it with a signature Swamp Juice 🍹 (or wine - it’s National Wine Day 🍷) and finish things off with a warm skillet cookie or brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence. What could be more American?? 🇺🇸

Sunday calls for donuts and coffee at Swillerbees Craft donuts and Coffee 🍩☕

The Mama Macchiato donut was the perfect pick-me-up — filled with espresso whipped cream and topped with vanilla frosting, caramel drizzle, and espresso beans for the ultimate coffee lover’s treat.

The Holy Cannoli donut delivered with its rich cannoli buttercream filling, topped with chocolate frosting, chocolate chips, and crunchy shell pieces for the perfect cannoli-inspired bite.

They also have a Frozen Hot Chocolate which you can order with the limited-time Irish Cream seasonal flavor! Not as smooth as expected, but chocolatey, refreshing, and packed with cozy Irish cream flavor, it’s basically dessert in a cup.

Also featured this month is their Strawberry Pop Tart donut, making the menu even more tempting for anyone with a sweet tooth.

If you’re looking for a fun Sunday treat, Swillerbees definitely hits the spot!

Fresh flavors with a waterfront view? Yes, please! 🌿🌮

Had an amazing lunch at RiverGrille on the Tomoka featuring the refreshing Maple Apple Crunch Salad and flavorful Mahi Tacos with hush puppies on the side!

The salad was the perfect mix of sweet, savory, and crunchy — fresh mixed greens topped with candied pecans, goat cheese, crispy bacon, and Granny Smith apples, all tossed in a delicious maple balsamic vinaigrette. 🍎🥓🧀

The Mahi tacos brought fresh coastal flavor, and those hush puppies were the perfect crispy pairing. 🌮✨

Bonus: they also offer weekend brunch, making this a great spot for everything from laid-back lunches to brunch by the water! Who’s adding this to their must-visit list? 👀

☀️Sippin’ into tropical bliss at Starbucks☀️

The new Tropical Butterfly Lemonade Refresher is bright, fruity, and super refreshing with vibrant tropical flavors that make it perfect for a warm day pick-me-up. 🦋🍋 Popping boba pearls are also an added bonus.

And the Horchata Frappuccino? Creamy, sweet, and packed with cozy cinnamon-vanilla flavor that tastes like dessert in a cup. ❄️🤎 A smooth blend that’s both refreshing and indulgent at the same time! Try it with coffee or as a crème base.

If you’re looking to switch up your usual coffee order, these two drinks are definitely worth trying. One light and citrusy, one rich and creamy — the perfect combo for summer sipping! ☀️🥤

Have you tried either one yet? Which would you order first? 👀

Sunday brunch just got an upgrade 🍳🥔

How about a Croque Mama Foo from Mama Foo Foo? Served on sourdough with smoked ham, creamy béchamel, melted gouda, and topped with a perfectly over-easy egg — all alongside crispy breakfast potatoes. Brunch perfection on a plate!

Who’s ready for brunch?
